???? The Sleep Foundation: Key to Thriving Through Perimenopause

Gone are the days when I was the life of the party, dancing until dawn and heading straight to work. Fast forward thirty years, and the idea of skipping sleep is downright terrifying. As I embrace my fabulous fifties, I've realised that good sleep isn't just nice to have—it's the cornerstone of a thriving life.?

Here’s how to solidify this foundation with my top seven sleep hygiene commandments:

1. ?? Dine Early: Finish your last meal at least three hours before bedtime, allowing your body to focus on rest, not digestion.
2. ???? Banish Blue Light: Turn off screens 90 minutes before bed to protect your natural sleep cycle.
3. ?? Create a Cave: Optimize your bedroom environment; it should be dark and cool, a sanctuary for sleep.
4. ??♂??? Silence is Golden: Minimize noise, or consider a white noise machine to block out unwanted sounds.
5. ?? Sync with the Sun: Regulate your circadian rhythms by soaking in morning light and enjoying the sunset.
6. ?? Consistency is Key: Maintain a regular sleep schedule to help your body predict sleep and wake times.
7. ?? Ease Off Alcohol: As we age, our ability to metabolize alcohol declines—limiting intake can vastly improve sleep quality.

If these tips resonate with you and you're looking for more holistic strategies, I'd love to invite you to my workshop, "Rediscover You! 5 Holistic Steps to Regain Control in Perimenopause."
